AP-12 Participation - 91.401, 91.105, 91.2O0(c) 1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting The City maintains(in collaboration with our neighbor cities of Livermore and Dublin) an on-going data base of approximately 250 nonprofit agencies and other parties that have expressed an interest in the Housing and Human Services Grant (HHSG) program (which serves as the local umbrella program for allocating federal CDBG and HOME funds). The City held two joint application workshops in collaboration with the cities of Livermore and Dublin in early December 2017. Notices regarding the workshops were mailed directly to agencies and persons in the aforementioned data base, and notices were also published in the key local newspapers and on city web sites prior to the workshops. At the workshops (which had identical agendas and formats), staff from each city discussed all aspects of the HHSG program and disbursed application packets along with city-specific policy and procedures manuals. HHSG applicants attended meetings before either Pleasanton Human Services Commission (March 7, 2018) or the Pleasanton Housing Commission (March 15, 2018) for funding consideration. The Commissions considered the applications and formulated funding recommendations for consideration by the Pleasanton City Council. The funding recommendations will be reviewed for approval by the Pleasanton City Council in a public hearing on April 17th, 2018, at which time the FY2018-2019 Action Plan would also be approved for submittal to HUD. All meetings were noticed in the East Bay Times, a newspaper of general circulation, as well as in the Pleasanton Weekly, a local paper that is delivered to all Pleasanton residents. Alameda County also published notices regarding the overall Action Plan (which includes all entitlement cities and the urban county) in ANG newspapers throughout the County.
